Wisdom PathWisdom's fire flashes,
With scorching flames,
As the trials by fire
Test all that I claim.
Coyote comes calling
To see what I've learned.
Can I play with wildfire?
Or will I get burned?
Will I be threatened?
Will I need to compete,
Allowing self-importance
To cause wisdom's defeat?
Can I share all my wisdom
With the intent to inspire,
Allowing others the right
To claim their spirit's fire?
When Coyote comes calling,
I'll be prepared as he arrives,
Finding balance through laughter,
Amidst the snares that he contrives.
